What They Say of Our Fuir.
Two Thousand Persona Present.
{Special Correspondence of tlio Morning News.)
Tiiomasvili.k, May 30,1873.
One ot the most successful under
takings of the character ever held was
the impromptu lair of to-day. Itut a
few weeks ago the suggestion was
made, and to-day was held one of the
best exhibitions of llm Thomas Coun
ty Agricultural Society.
There were near otic hundred and
filly entries. The display of vegeta
bles excelled atu. thing of this kiud
that has ever been witnessed iu lower
Georgia, and will go far to dissipate
the miserable conclusion that We are
unable to raise cabbage, corn and po
tatoes. The collection tvould have
done credit to any city market, where
vegetable growing is made a specialty.
There wcie six contestants for the
premium upou babies. Of course tiv
mothers have a poor opinion of the
taste of that committee. They never
had any children ot their own, and
how could they judge impartially iu a
matter of this kind, one would argue.
Another thought it was all a humbug
anyhow. She never iuteuded to come
back there agaiu.
is strange how newspaper men
can make one believe that they are
competent for anything. In this af
fair Majoi Bryan anti Captain Triplett
were tlic moving men. They «ent to
work to make it a success, and they
have succeeded.
The editorial fraternity was well
represented. There were on hand
Col. Filds, of tin: Quitman Banner,
Pendleton, of the Valdosta Times, Ma
jor Gallaher, of the Quitman Indentnd-
ent, Frank Evans, ot the Albany Aries,
Col. S. \V. Baker, of the Blackshear
(ifirepan, Mr. Sullivan, of the Savan
nah Independent, and Taylor, of the
Milledgeville Recorder. So far ns I
can learn they deported themselves
admirably. Col. Baker is a philoso
pher, and we make u distinction thus-
ly : The Fair at Thomasville is one
tiling and the Thomasville fuir
very different thing.
The floral display excelled every
former display ever made iu Thomas
ville. As the report of the committe
shows, it was haul to tliscrimiiiub
favor of any one individual. The
whole arrangement in this department
was a success.
But the best of all the displays was
that made about dinner time. Your
correspondent having been on the com
mittee lo decide ou lunch baskets, his
appetite was well whetted for dinner,
and, under the direction of Mrs. Dr,
Clower,"lie was led like a sheen to the
slaughter,” but unlike the "sheep be
fore iu shearers," he was not dumb,
but opened his mouth frequently.
It was altogether a plcasaut d;
the vast crowd, save the rain in
evening. There were large crowds
from Bainbrulge. Quitman. Valdosta.
Boston ami elsi where along the line
ot the Gult ltoad. It was a good da}'
tor Thomasville. because it left a gteai
many dollars then- that never would
have found it* wav there but tor such
a demonstration. It was a spieudid
adveitisement lor the city, aau shows
enterprise and shrewdness upon the
part of those getting it up.
The best order prevailed, and but
little drunkenucs visible to the public
eyc.
Crops were the chief subject of con
versation. anti 1 believe that the gen
eral testimony w as very encouraging
and a fine crop this year.
I am under special obligations to
CapL Triplett, Chairman ot the Com
mittee of Arrangements, for special
favors, and the citizens generallv for
their kindness ; and when they iia>e
another fair, may I be there to’ see.

Thomasville Horticultural
Fair.—The Horticultural and Flor
al Fail at Thomasville last Friday was
a decided succes*. The collection of
vegetables were superfine in the strict
est sense of the word. We were really
agreeably suiprised to see that our sis
ter county could, with three or four
weeks notice, produce such a variety
and quality of the^ things to tempt a
man’s appetite. We have only to re-
§ ret that a larger number of farmers
id not go aud see what Thomas coun
ty is doing in the gardening line. A
day spent there discussing these mat
ters—interchanging views in asocial
way, would uot only have been very
pleasant but highly beneficial to all
parties. Ia order to keep pace with
e age.
think we know it all, hut most occa
sionally stir ont among our neighbors
and learn what they know and add
it to our stock and we will find that
we are wiser than before.
The Floral department tvas equally
as tine a success, but, for the want of
space we leave this to be pufled by the
more apnreciative minds ef Jno. Gor
man and Capt. Triplett.
(From Hie Independent.
Thomasville Fair and Pic-Nic.
—There Is nothing more encouraging
to the farming interest of Southern
Georgia ; nothing more worthy of em
ulation by sister towns, than set hy
Thomasville on the 30ih ulL
The question of a Fair, we were
creditably informed, was not agitated
until about three week* before the day
appointed for the exposition, and the
premiums all given by the towu and
county ; and adjoining counties « **re
*all invited to come and enter their
vegetables free of charge and coatend
for the premiums. This was certain
ly very liberal on the part of the citi
zens of Thomasville ; but it will ulti
mate prove an advantage to them.—
For the season of the year, the various
collections of vegetables excelled.any-
thing we have ever seen.
The floral Exposition was bewitch-
ingly grand, excelling anything in
that department we have ever seen.
Every plant in the hot-house depart
ment was so judiciously arranged as
to render each flower conspicuous.—
The cut flowers in beauty, variety ar
tistic arrangement transcends our
powers of description. To the modest
wreathes, the brilliant flashing boquet,
the towering and majestic pyramids
and crosses, we content ourself with
the exclamation Excelsior.
To Col. A. P. Wright and his lady,
e are indebted for their courtesies in
pointing out many beauties in the flo
ral department that our dull eyes
would not have discovered, and our
less apnreciative mind would not have
enjoyed
The vegetable and floral collections
and courtesies and hospitalities of the
citizens of Thomasvillo oxtended to
visitors, made the Fair a perfect suc
cess. Wc hope that Thomas will con
tinue, as she has taken the lead, in
this encouraging and praiseworthy en
terprise, and that all the couutics in
Southern Georgia may follow her ex
ample.

Tiie Thomas County Horticul
tural Fair.—We regret that want
of space prevents an extended notice
of the impromptu exhibition of vege
tables and flowers at the Thomas Couu-
ty Fair Grounds, on Friday, the 30th
ult. That it was an impromtu exhi
bition adds additional eclat to its com
plete success.
Had the horticulturalist and flori-
cuhuralist trained their skill aud en-
ergy, with due notice of such an or
deal, still the exhibit made would have
reflected credit and honor for the in
trinsic merits of the exhibition—mer
its that would take rank and prece
dent when viewed in the entirely, at
any exhibition at such a time.
Among the vegetables were no
mammoth wonders in size, a sort of lu-
sus naturee, to astonish hy hugeness ol
bulk, but iu the Irish potatoes, beets,
turnips, cabbage, squashes, parsnips,
&c., there Was an ampleucss and gen
eral agreement ol size combining the
attractive with the useful, that would
have commanded highest prices in
market, as just the articles best suited
to the highest style of the culinary
art.
To attain all this is td achieve com
plete success, and this is a measure of
triumph of skill and energy without
extra exertion, aided by the genial
climate and grateful soil of South
Georgia, as evinced by that interesting
exhibition of products at the Fair
Grounds in Thomasville.
• * • *
The long tables in the centre of tbe
large building were graced with beau
tiful and rare flowers, tastefully ar
ranged in boquets, wreathes and gar-
Iauas. Thus, while man brought for
ward the products of his labor, woman
presented her tasteful, graceful handi
work, aud the utile et Juice, the useful
aud the beautiful, reciprocally bright

Horticultural and Floral Ex

were present on last Friday at the
grand Horticultural and Floral exhibi
tion. on the Fair Grounds of the “South
Georgiu Agricultural and Mcchauical
Association,’” situated a short distance
from the cuterprising city ofThomas-
villc; aud wc aro happy to announce
that the affair was a complete success.
The display of every character ot
Spring vegetables far surpassed our
most sanguine expectations and the
floral exhibition was really maznili-
cent: there were beautiful wreaths,
towering pyramids, imposing crosses,
splendid boquets, &c.. all giving evi
dence of tiie admirable taste aud artis
tic skill of the fair ladies of Thomas
The floral exhibition was the centre
of attraction, and although a thousand
tongues uttered word, of praise, they
were bat a faint tribute of apprecia
tion of the leal merits ol this most
wouderful display.
In the vegetable line there were, in
profusion, cabbages, turnips, beets,
onions, potatoes, tomatoes, beans.
The Quitman Cornet Band, although
two very important instruments were
missing, crowned itself with laurels.—
It received the plaudits of not only the
citizens of ThomasviJle, but likewise
the vast concourse of visitors, for ihe
dignified and manly deportment of its
members, and the very excellent mu
sic furnished.
The Thomasrillc Band also plays
well, and wc particularly admired its
beautiful uniform. The citizens look
upon their band with great pride, and
extend to it generous encouragement.
Personally, we are under many ob
ligations to several of the citizens of
Thotuasville for courtesies on this oc
casion, and especially lo our esteemed
friend, Capt. T. S. Paine, and his
beautiful and accomplished lady.

The Horticultural Exhibition
in Thomasville.—We had prepared
a rather lengthy article on our visit to
Thomasville, last Friday, but found
that our space was limited, and this
nccessiated our leavingit out. We have
room to say, however, that we had a
pleasant time, and were the recipient
of many acts of kindness and hospital
ity Horn our friends doYvn there. The
Exhibition was one of the grandest of
the kind ever held in Georgia ; and
we are firmly convinced that Thomas
county is one of the most productive,
wealthy and prosperous in the South
ern States. It yvos a real beautiful
sight to witness the mammoth vegeta
bles which lay spread on the many ta
bles in the Exhibition Hall,—the result
of earnest, skillful labhr, and the pro
duction or our own Georgia soil. The
beautiful and fragnent boquet9—the
handi-work of the fair daughters of
Thomasville ; and last, but not least,
the six beautiful, healthy, clean and
fat little babies that Yverc there
competitors for premium. Whether
or uot the raising of these little cher
ubs come under the head of Horticul
ture, ytc are unable to say ; but they
were there, and a premium was awar
ded to one.
To Mr. H. W. noi’KlNS wo return
mauy thanks for courtcsis. We made
his office and home our headquarters,
and his kindness added ten-fold to our
enjoyment. Messrs. Christian a
Triplett, of the Times, also have our
thanks. We visited their office, aud
found that they had one of the best lil
ted up printing estahlisnmeuts tu the
State. The Times is a jjood paper
and well patronized.
ThomasviJle is growing rapidly, and
bids fair to become a large city at no
distaut day.

—At 8:30 a. m. we found ourself on the
extra train bound ft* Thomasville.
The mercury eveu at that hour was
rapidly ascending the ladder of fuliren-
heit, and when wc had reached the
Fair Grounds it had dimed almost to
the topmost round, threatening a tlier-
mometrical explosion. The party
from the Oak City was small iu uuin

eminent for ability and character. The
appearance of the business aud dwell
ing houses, impress the stranger that
thrift, comfort and taste are enjoyed.
The busy warehouses, foundries and
work-shops, evidence the industry and
enterpries of the inhabitants.
The attractive feauturc of the dfly
led us to the Fair grounds, where we
encountered a iar"c assemblage of
South Georgians. The hall in the cen
tral building presented the appearance
of a Saturday market-place. At the
different stalls could he seen'vegeta
bles of every variety and dimension,
equaling the finest exhibitions of the
kind we have ever seeu in Northern
markets. The centre table contained
many massive and beautiful boqucls,
arranged and combiutd with artistic
taste and pleasing effect. Through
the kindness of Mrs. Barrette, the wri
ter was presented Yvith a floral wreath,
aud a perfect £em, a heart-shaped bo
quet, a beautiful emblematic dcsigu
of purity and loveliness, deyoid ofpit-r-
ciug thorn# and withered leaves but
fresh with buds, blooms and aromatic
odors. The floral department wa« rich
ly represented by box flowcrs,andplanti
of rare kinds and luxuriant growth.
The generous Pic Nickers knowing
their inability lo work miracles,
brought forward a bountiful supply of
rations to feed the multitude, and
there was doubtless more than fl
basketsfuli of fragments gathered l,.
after dinner. The baby show seemed
to be an object of intern to admiring
mothers and indulgent fathers. Not

that the time would *oou conic whtu

to the interest aud enjovtueul of t!

adorned with wreaths, flowers, festoons
ol cedar in which could be heard the soft
strains of the violin and the “tripping
of the light fantastic toe. ” The pleas

tion of the wealth of our soil aud ad
vantages of our delightful climate.

The attendance at the exhibition far
exceeded the expectation of the clever
people of Thomasyille. They came
from Bainbridge on the west, Albany
on the north, Blackshear on the east,
and Monticello on the south, and all
the intermediate country was repre
sented by its manhood and beauty.—
We should judge there were present
between fifteen hundred and two thou
sand persons, and all appeared to in
tensely enjoy the occasion. The Thom-
asviUe and Quitman Cornet Bands
furnished splendid music, and the la
dies and gentlemen of tbe city and
county vied with each other in expend
ing courtesies to the visitors.
A splendid dinner was served on
the grounds, and for variety, quality

Our Trip to Thomasville.—
The sun was shining blight and
clear from cloudless skies, as on the
morning of the 30th ulL, our party
started tortn for the Pic-Nic and Ex
hibition at Thomasville.
The train left promptly at 6 a. m.
and we were soon dashing along un

leaving Albany far behind us.
wenU seeping past well
tilled fields, through forests of the resi

As we neared our destination, the
car rapidly became better filled, and
long ere we reached it every seat was
occupied.
At ten o'clock wc arrived at Thom
asville, and found a committee wait
ing to receive us. The trains from
Qnitman and Bainbridge steamed up
to the Depot directly after, and strain*
of delightful music from the Brass
Bands, of Thomasville and Quitman,
welcomed the arrival of the visitors.
Our friend. Levy, with his usual
courtsey, took us in charge, ami we
were shortly driving throughlhe streets
of the beautiful city iu style “par ex

safely to our slopping place, we were
soon all ready for fun.

mous size. To give a full description
of them is beyond our scope, and to re
late their magnitude would sound too
much like exaggeration ; hut we leave
it to thefreaders imagination.
The flower's were arranged in the
most tasteful and attractive styles, a
large table being tilled with graceful
floral pyramids, crosses and other de
signs. The exquisite flowers, though
chaste and elegant, could not compare
with the brilliant boquet of beauty
formed by Thomasville's fair daugh
ters, and both created a blended ex
pression of loveliness aud splendor up
on our susceptible hearts thrilling with
responsive throbs uuder such bewitch
ing allurements.
At the hour of dining, hospitnlity
tairly beamed upou the faces of the
people of Thomasville, and the most
dclightlnl lunches met our gaze in ev
ery direction. We had the honor of
sharing a portion of the contents of tiie
Prize Basket, aud greatly did we en
joy it. The dinner of our German
triends was chuiming and picturesque.
Outside the Grounds out ol the dust
aud heat of the multitude, aud under
thc cool shade of the trees an elegant
meal was tmread in real Pic-Nic sV 1<-
aud presided over hy Mrs. Jcrger.
Seated at ease away from tlic throng
ing crowds they were enjoying the
most delieous viands. We were iu ci
ted to partake with them and found
their meal the ‘*Ne Plus Ultra” of Pic-
Xic life.
Amid the beautiful ladies of Thom-
ville, and completely charmed with
the bright smiles and bewitching glan
ces, the golden hours fllew bv like min
utes, until twilight fast approaching,
intervened to cud the happiness of our
dance.
Leaving early next morning, we
started en route for home, met several
of our Albany friend's reached here
safely and rounded off our delightful
journey among the most charming of
eompanions-devoy age.
M e now look back with unfeigned
pleasure to our visit to Thomasville :
1 the day spent among its noble
hearted men and lovely ladies, will be
ever treasured iu our memories as
among the happiest hours of our lives;
and the rccollecliou of their kind treat
ment and generous hospitality time-
can never efface ; for
There arc moments of life th;»t w. : never

Language among Animals.
M.Hotizeau maintains that not only
Joes each group of animals possess
a language which is muter stood br
other memlicrH of the same group
but that they can learn to under
stand the language of other groups.
His dogs for instance perfectly un
derstood his poultry. Cocks and
hens have one danger signal for tin
approach of a bird of prey, anothei
for that of a terrestrial animal or foi
a man. When the later was sounded
the dogs would rush out and bark,
while to the former they paid no at
tention whatever. He therefore, con
cludes that fowls have the power of
expressing slightly different but
closely allied ideas, and dogs can
loam these differences.
M. Hoitzeau says: The mule is
supposed to lx: able to count as far
us live, at least; and this is consider
ed to bo established by the following
observation : There is :I short branch
line of omnibuses in New Orleans,
where each mule makes the journey
live times successively before being
eliangod. The veterinary surgeon ol
these animals called attention to the
fact that at the end of each of the
first four journeys they are silent,
but us they approach the end of the
fifth they neigh. But this is not sat
isfactory. The end of the fifth trip
may be marked by preparations for
feeding the animals, which thev
hear or smell ut a distance, and
these may have produced responsive
neighs.—Scribner's for February.
